Pair of Art Deco Benches ( France c 1930's )

I think these are beautiful.
They are soooo Palm Beach.

You just never know who's bottom sat on them.

I would sandblast them and leave them in a natural iron finish.

Imagine this pair of Art Deco Fireplace Benches recovered and sandblasted.

They would really be a show-stopper , and would enhance the fireplace as the focal point in a room.

Pair of fanciful wrought iron 1930's fireplace benches.

The motif depicts maidens dancing before the sun, while Pan plays his flute.

The Only Russian Tea Room In NYC

Before heading to The Russian Tea Room, perhaps a bit of food for the heart and soul.

The Carnegie is next door.

The City. I love the contrast , constant contrast, and beautifully choreographed.

I can't help showing so many awning shots, I get all excited with anticipation.

This shot shows what it really looks like at night, when the lights are lowered.

The Russian Tea Room is such a spectacular place. If you go to NYC, and are with anyone you want to show a good time, take them there.

I promise they will never get it out of the heads. It will be permanently filed on their ' Chip '.

I took my daughter there when she was about 6 years old and we had brunch.

We were both dressed up and she was consciously testing her very best table manners.

The waiters were so lovely, and needless to say the presentation of the meal was elegant & amazing to a little girl from Boca Raton.

It was such a memory for me as well.

She will never be that same innocent, beautiful, big eyed little girl again.

We were both so happy that day, we were all smiles, hugs and kisses.

Unfortunately, sometimes money can buy happiness and on that day

The Russian Tea Room contributed to it greatly.

When I was little my parents took me there...........it was nothing like this.

It was a landmark of course, and they did take me.

But I remember it being done in the dark maroon-ish reds. It was dark and dingy feeling.

It really does look like this.

The ceiling is gold leafed. They spent something like 6 million dollars on the interiors the last time they restored it. ( within the last 15 years or so )

Seriously, try to get there.

Especially if you have an innocent, big eyed , beautiful little 6 yr old girl .

Petite Table Easel

Who wouldn't love a Petite Easel for a desk or a table top ?

You could display a photo, a painting, or a book.
And it has lighting attached, how great is that ???
22.75 H x 11 W x 10 .5 D

It could be fabulous in an office setting for the designer displaying beautiful sketches, maybe a book publisher displaying a clients possible book cover . They walk in , and pop, the light hits the art work that's held up by the petite easel.
( ....And all ' sans the cigarette girl ' holding artwork. )


I myself would use it for actually painting a smaller painting.

This would make a grrrrreat gift.
It is $ 279.00 from Thomasville Furniture.
The sku is :68950-1002
